Wow, it's hard to believe we're bringing 2014 to a close! Here are a few of the most popular decor and craft posts from House Revivals this year.
While my vintage book page projects, especially the woven stars and snowflakes, are my most popular posts from year to year, these are the most popular new posts from 2014:
17 Pretty Ways to Decorate With a Brown Sofa was the most popular new post of 2014.
Another hugely popular post was Super Amazing Ways to Up-cycle Filing Cabinets.
Painting Interior Doors Black is another post that has been popular this year.
Five Reasons to Shop at a Thrift Store Right Now has been a big hit -- if you've read my blog for long, you know I'm a fan of up-cycling, re-purposing, and living a creative lifestyle on a budget.
How to Make Gorgeous Pendants With Dollar Store Supplies was published in December, but it has already become one of the most read new posts on House Revivals this year!
I made a lot of paper beads in 2014, and got really sore hands and wrists, so I devised a way to make a Paper Bead Roller with supplies most of us already have on hand. How to Make Your Own Paper Bead Roller is a reader favorite! I still use my bead rollers all the time, and they have saved my wrists and my sanity!
Apparently I'm not the only one who must live with dated colored bath fixtures! When timing or finances or life situation is just not right for a remodel, sometimes you just need to work with what you have. Decorating With Colored Bathroom Fixtures should help you through your bath decor dilemma!
You were all interested in How to Dress Up Those Plastic Nursery Pots! I simply do not have the storage space to keep lots of decorative pots and vases, so I turned to one of my favorite materials for this five-minute fix-up!
The Barn Door Hardware Guide started out when I was researching hardware for one of my own projects, and has been a favorite with my readers.
Earlier this year, I found a leather recliner on Craigslist. It was the wrong color, so I researched DIY leather furniture dyeing. Ultimately, my husband decided he didn't like sitting on leather -- it was too cold and slippery in winter, and too hot and sticky in summer, so that recliner is now headed for the Goodwill. This is why we opted not to spend the big bucks right away on a new leather recliner or on a professional dye job -- we needed to know if we liked lounging on leather. I shared my leather dye research in this post, How to Dye a Leather Sofa or Chair.
